Watching these beautiful scans a question arises. How do you resolve minor battles in mulitplayer (I mean battles to be fought by one side only, hpoing thw player will do better, than the AI)? Or do you play the grand strat map and battles are fought by autoresolve?

Please check out the "When can we order" thread where I compiled answers to those questions. The process itself is simple - you tell the store what you want to buy, choose your payment type and a big link appears. Click on the link and your download begins (or right click on it and save target as to choose where to put it).

You can re-download within 30 days of purchase and it can absolutely be burned to a CD for backup (we advise that, in fact).

The manual can be printed affordably at Kinko's as long as you don't print it in color. It is also a fully searchable E-book PDF which makes referencing it on your computer very handy too.

Can you explain what you do step by step?

Also, when I receive the download ... will I be able to burn it to a CD? What is the download size?

If I burn it to a CD, can I take the CD to Kinko's to print off the manual?

I have a question that hopefully hasn't been asked and answered before. If you're in a detailed battle, is it possible to fortify your troops (apart from fortified bastions) in the field? If so, how? Field fortifications would help immensely. Just a thought.

I don't believe there are field fortifications (i.e. constructed during the battle). A province's "walls" rating helps the defender in creating some fortifications and these can also have garrisons apart from your mobile army/corps. With that said, units that stay in position should generally have higher morale and lower fatigue than those that are marching around and getting hit with cannon fire on the way in.
